Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2385: -------------------------------------- > I would prefer creating new classes solely dedicated to configuration logic [ > ... ] I think this varies, case-by-case. For a complex subsystem like HDFS, it may make sense to have dedicated configuration classes. For a standalone classes, like an InputFormat or compression codec, it probably makes sense to put configuration accessors directly on the class in question. > Validate configuration parameters > --------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2385 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2385 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Robert Chansler > > Configuration parameters should be fully validated before name nodes or data > nodes begin service. > Required parameters must be present. > Required and optional parameters must have values of proper type and range. > Undefined parameters must not be present. > (I was recently observing some confusion whose root cause was a mis-spelled > parameter.) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
